Aquatic Teaching Frameworks in the Anthropocene: Navigating for Natural and Cultural Heritage

Water is the main actor of a summer school dedicated to heritage and environment, realized in navigation, by a community of international and multidisciplinary students and teachers, and dedicated to an in-depth investigation of the seas of the former Yugoslavia. The narrow spaces of a small wooden gulet acted as a floating classroom, meeting-point, and hostel, while the limited spaces and fresh water available were shared among all participants. Sharing the scarce spaces and limited water resources has represented a metaphor of reciprocal interdependence, and it was the main educational texture of the summer school on board.
